hokietech96 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Hi. It’s been over a year since I have been out hunting. I finally was able to get in a couple hunts in last week. I found the usual teeth and other fossils. It just felt so good to finally get back at it! Wanted to post some of the nicer items I found. Enjoy: 1 and 2. Scapanorhynchus texanus - Goblin shark 3 and 4. Cretolamna - Mackeral shark 5. Coprolite? I am so hoping I am right about this because it will be a first for me! @frankh8147 @The Jersey Devil 6. Bone - probably modern but here’s to hoping 7. What could have been. Haha this would have been a nice one 8. Nice little fish vert 9. I originally thought this was a pieces of a clasper but after looking at pictures I’m not sure it’s really anything. Maybe a enchodus fang piece? Thanks for any feedback! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jersey Devil Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Hi @hokietech96, nice haul! The IDs are great except 1 & 3 are Archaeolamna.

Hi. thanks for taking a look! I was going back and forth on that one in my head for days. I wanted it to be Archaeolamna. Very excited able it this. It is by far the best one in my collection. Have you seen this type of tooth bigger than the one I found? Also my first corpolite!!! I am assuming it’s from a shark and not a reptile? I have no idea how to tell the difference. 58 minutes ago, Praefectus said: Wonderful finds! Great to see you were able to go collecting again. Thanks. It was great to be back!

jonnyquest Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Nice stuff. 5. Looks like shark coprolite and 9. Looks like enchodus but more close picks would help to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bthemoose Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 For #3, the root is more rounded and the blade more curved than I would expect for Cretalamana. Could it be Archaeolamna as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
